The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has declared
that the State cannot afford another era of disconnect
from the Federal Government, saying the All
Progressives Congress-led government in the state has
led the state into gross under-development because of
the unnecessary bickering between Gov. Rotimi
Amaechi and the Presidency.
Addressing traditional chiefs and titled citizens at
Minimah town in Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Area
at the weekend, Wike urged the chiefs and high chiefs
to work relentlessly to ensure victory for President
Goodluck Jonathan, himself and all the PDP candidates
in the forthcoming elections.
He said: “We now see the danger in an era of
disconnect between the Rivers State Government and
the Presidency. Since the outgoing governor led us into
this unfortunate disconnect, we have suffered massive
dose of under-development.
“We cannot afford another era of disconnect. Every
chief, traditional ruler and youth leader should work
round the clock to ensure that Jonathan wins, that I win
and that all PDP candidates win. We have a
responsibility to return Rivers State to the path of
development. Our people are tired of this era of
excuses, false propaganda and the relegation of Rivers
State amongst the comity of states”.
The former Minister of State for Education said no
matter the level of false stories being peddled by the
opposition, Jonathan will be re-elected as president
come February 14, 2015.
